Rain soaked Melbourne F1 Grand Prix
Melbourne had four seasons in one day for the first qualifying session of the F1 GP around Albert Park Lake. These images are taken from the Schumacher stand overlooking the final two corners before pit straight. There was a dry afternoon practice session...

... that is a very short straight and yet you can see (hear) them accelerating to a breaking point 5 metres before the next turn :-) .. they all have the same engine sound and in the rain i heard some where going up an extra gear on that short straight pr...

I have met Kimi
a couple of times in a small night club in Helsinki. He's really not a rocket scientist but probably can drive the car. This year we have 2.5 Finns in Formula Ones. Nico Rosberg is the half: he is having Finnish passport but he's competing with German lic...

When the V8 Supercars are ...
... on the track, even the F1 drivers come out to watch. They make a great sound and there is some tight racing around the twisty bits. Great fun. Thanks for looking through the post. Andrew
